Re: PHP & .PDF & .ZIP ???

Yes, PHP can do pdf and can READ zip files. I am not sure if PHP can make the pdf unprintable, or locked. You can find info on the pdf functions here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdf.php and info on the zip functions here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.zip.php Since those are read-only functions, you could use exec() or system() to zip your files.
